The Cattle outlook In the Territory.

Special to the Gazette.
VINITA, L, T., March 2l.-This country
has never seen SO fine prospect for
stock raising to yield good profit as at
present. The light winter reduced the
cost Of maintaining stock to nominal
sum, and the loss by death was practically
nothing. This may be illustrated by
citing two cases. Grayson Wills, ranch
ing near here, out of 800 head lost not q
single animal. N. Skinner with twice as
many, has heard of but two dead ones.
The cattle are in prime order now
and nothing save ruinously low market
next summer will prevent our stockmen
from making money, thing they have
not done in some years past. Our local
law was amended at the last session of
the Council so that cattle may be brought
in till April, an extension of thirty days
from formerly. AS result there will be
a large number of Texans brought in, fed
few months on the grass and sent to
market

SOME EXCUSES.
Plausible Explanations That May Be USE
full to Some Married Men.
1id-Rfts

full to Some Married Men.
Iid-Bits.
All married men and all contemplating
mstrimony will find it to their advantage
to carefully memorize the following list
of plausible excuses for coming home at
a. m. or later. They have been COM
piled for Tid-Bits by Benedict of long
experience.
You may state that
You dropped in to see q friend and
found him dangerously i'll with the rheu-
matism, and remained at his urgent re-
quest to cheer him with sprightly re-
partee.
You met clergyman who used to be
one of your college friends, and yielded
to his pressing invitation to accompany
him home; you have spent tie evening in
his study engaged in a discussion on
heather missions.
You have been at the Office looking
over the books, and are too tired and
worried to talk.
The clock is wrong.
You have been discussing a great
money making scheme with ii well-known
financIer; and if your exp Citations are
realized she shall have g neW sealskin
saCque.
Your watch stopped, and you had no
idea that it was so late.
You have been down town With news
paper man and you have been watch ing
the process of printing a eat morning
paper. (This is an original and good
excuse. Try to enthuse stle about the
giant presses, the horny-hAnded work
men. etc.
You have seen g tenemeTt-house fire
and have been assisting the poor dis
tressed inmates to remove tneir goods to
places of safety. State thai your heart
bled at the speCtaCles of AFFECT pov-
-ertY which you then Witnes> ed.
You were run over by 'ruck on your
wsy'heme at 10 O'Clock; you were taken
to drug store; you wOul not permit
the zbystanders to send for your family,
because you felt that you would soon be
able to walk; you are niue better now,
and think that all you heed is perfect
quiet.
In conclusion, let me say that some
tact must be exercised in using the eX-
cuses. Don't be too anxious to tel your
little story; on the other hand, beware of
appearing too careless and light-hearted.
Don't overdo the matter; don't tell too
elaborate tale, or you will trip yourself
up. Just make a plain statement of the
alleged facts, and leave your hearers i'm
agination to supply the details. And re-
member that virtue is its own reward.
